Teams aspiring to be promoted to Division 2 for the following season are encouraged to play as many 30 over matches as possible. 2. (Division 3 only). At least 50% of a team’s line up in any match must comprise members of that team’s squad, the remainder can be players obtained via the Loan System (replaces the previous regulation whereby a team needed six of their own players to use the Loan System). 3. (Divisions 1-3): Batting points will no longer be granted for batting a certain number of overs. (Batting points awarded will now only be based on runs scored, and only five batting points will be available to each team). 4. (Division 1/2 only). Where adverse weather is predicted prior to the end of normal hours of play, the two teams can by mutual consent, and prior to the start of the match, agree to reduce the number of overs per side to anything between 20 and 39 even though no playing time may have been lost. 5.

In matches played as 30 overs per side two bowlers on each side can bowl a maximum of eight overs and the remaining bowlers a maximum of seven overs. A full committee meeting will be held at Lymm Oughtrington Park CC on Tuesday March 28 at 1930. This will be preceded by the annual Captains’ Briefing from 1830. Any captain unable to attend must ensure their vice-captain attends instead. Takeaway pizza will be provided free of charge for captains attending this briefing. CHESHIRE SENIORS A new Player Pathway for Cheshire county cricket has been put in place. The key points of this Pathway include: There remains uncertainty over the long term future of women’s county cricket, with the ECB still committed in the longer term to expanding the Women’s Super League. Cheshire’s senior team will now only compete in the T20 Championship, and not in the 50 over County Championship / One-Day Championship. Cheshire remain fully committed to the T20 competition. The new pathway will allow players to progress from the Cheshire youth set-up (which will remain unaltered) to Lancashire 2nd team, and then if good enough to Lancashire’s first team, the Lancashire Thunder Super League team, the England Senior Academy and then the full England squad. Lancashire’s second team will have a structured programme of fixtures against the second teams of other division one counties in 2017. Hence the opportunities for players from Cheshire to progress to the top of women’s cricket remain unaltered. Sophie Ecclestone from Cheshire has made it to the top recently, and Laura MacLeod, Lauren Griffiths and Sarah Collyer are all Cheshire players who have progressed to the England senior squad in the last 20 years. By only playing T20, and thus only having four county matchdays, it is hoped availability amongst the existing Cheshire squad will improve, and that some players who have opted out of county cricket in recent years will be tempted to return to the fold. There will be no CWCL fixtures in division 1/2 scheduled for these four matchdays. CHESHIRE SENIORS A new Player Pathway for Cheshire county cricket has been put in place.

The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.

England's warm-up game - against Australia A - ended in victory, with centuries for Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones and Nat Sciver. Danni Wyatt and Jenny Gunn, who were a part of the ODI squad, will stay with England Women's Academy to take part in T20s against Australia A and Ireland, the latter fixtures a replacement for Ireland's series against Zimbabwe which was cancelled. Fran Wilson and Alex Hartley will stay with the Test group in Taunton as cover. England captain Heather Knight said: "It's obviously a very important match for us and we need to win it to stay in the series. "The beauty of the multi-format points series means we're still very much in the battle, a normal bilateral series that finished like the ODIs would have been finished but we can get back to 6-4 with a win in the Test match and that's exciting.

Leigh CC’s application for promotion to division 2 has been approved, and the League has also agreed to allow Hawarden Park to return to division 3.

  • The Dazzler 151 League Dinner Awards
    Ma THE Hannah Jones claims T20 awards hat-trick at CWCL Dinner … All the winners from DAZZLER 151 CWCL & CYC Dinners listed … Leigh complete unbeaten season … Sophie Ecclestone in line for ODI debut in West Indies … Clubs invited to apply for small grants funding LEAGUE DINNER AWARDS The Cheshire Women’s Cricket League held another successful annual presentation dinner at Chester Boughton Hall CC last Saturday. For the first time, the same player won the awards for all three disciplines in the same category. Hannah Jones of Didsbury was the best batsman, bowler and fielder according to the statistics for the league’s T20 competitions. A number of awards were only settled after some dramatic events on the last day. Lorna Starkey, captain of league champions Chester Boughton Hall, scored 116, the second highest individual score of the year, on the final day, allowing her to overhaul what had looked like a comfortable lead for Emma Barlow. Perhaps the most closely fought award was the division two bowling award. At the start of the final matches, six bowlers were locked together on nine wickets – Stockport Trinity’s Katy Hart and Olivia Smith, Oxton’s Ellie Grisedale and the Wistaston Village trio of Alison Smith, Hannah Bratt and Emily Mackenzie. Hart’s two wickets on September 11 ensured she moved into the outright lead and thus bagged the award. INDIVIDUAL AWARD WINNERS 2016 Division 1 Batting 1 Lorna Starkey (Chester Boughton Hall) 382 runs (also best average with 95.5) 2 Emma Barlow (Appleton) 349 3 Phoebe Cottam (Oakmere) 306 4 Lauren Smith (Didsbury) 242 5 Natalie Lyons (Oakmere) 184 Division 1 Bowling 1 Kate Coppack (Chester Boughton Hall) 18 wickets (average 5.61 – best average of any division 1 bowler who bowled more than 3 overs.

BRAMHALL TRIUMPH IN T20 FINAL BRAMHALL pulled off their greatest cup triumph since winning the National Club knock out at Lord’s in 2001 when they beat Nantwich in a thrilling Joseph Holt Brewery T20 final at Toft on Sunday. Before an enthralled 500-strong crowd, Premier League strugglers Bramhall held off a Nantwich challenge to their modest total of 140-5 by restricting them to 135-5 to win the coveted Fred Graham Trophy by five runs. They now go forward to represent the League in the ECBt20 Area Finals Day in North Wales on Sunday, August 7.

Bramhall’s Danny Lamb was voted Man of the Match for his 40 runs and tight 1-19 bowling. Alderley Edge wicket-keeper Andy Worrall won the Champagne Moment award for an acrobatic run out.

  • Jones 50 Takes England to Win in First IT20
    Jones celebrates her second IT20 half-century. Photo: Getty Images Dec 17, 2019 06:07 GMT Jones 50 Takes England To Win In First IT20 SCORECARD A half-century from Amy Jones and three wickets for Sophie Ecclestone led England to a comfortable victory in the first IT20 against Pakistan in Kuala Lumpur. Jones' 53 included ten fours and was the stand-out innings on a pitch that didn't suit aggression. She was ably supported by Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver, while Katherine Brunt and Heather Knight added some lower-order momentum. Two wickets in the first over for Freya Davies put England ahead of the game, but as was the pattern in the ODI series, Pakistani skipper Bismah Maroof was resolute and gave her team half a chance of taking victory. Late wickets for Sciver extinguished any Pakistani hopes of victory and took England 1-0 up in the series. The second and third match of the series take place on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 December respectively, before England return home. QUOTES Amy Jones: "It's not an easy pitch to score quickly on, and I think the opening few overs are probably the best time to bat. "Pakistan were disciplined with the ball and they didn't make it easy so I think we did well to get up to 160, but we perhaps would have liked a few more. "The wickets in Australia at the World Cup won't be too similar to this but the important skill is adapting and hopefully adapting to these wickets will stand us in good stead for the World Cup." Photos from the match are available here.
